Individual Income Tax Preparation Fees How much would you charge to do my individual tax return? I'm sure this is breaking some secret CPA billing practice but instead of giving the usual "IT DEPENDS" answer.  Here are some average Form 1040 prices for potential clients to consider. Form 1040                  Standard Deductions                      $  150.00 Schedule A                 Itemized Deductions                           100.00 Schedule B                 Interest & Dividends                             20.00 Schedule D                 Capital Gains/Loss                               50.00 Schedule E                 K-1 Investment Income                        50.00 Schedule M                Making Work Pay                                 25.00 Form 2119                  Sale of Residence                                75.00 Form 3903                  Moving Expense                                   75.00 Small Business Schedule C                Business Income (Loss)                        150.00 Schedule F                Farm Income (Loss)                             150.00 Rental Properties                                    1st Rental Property                           100.00                                    Each Additional Rental Property            50.00 The price mainly depends on how well organized your business records are and the amount of time I have to spend digging through receipts.  Naturally, I'm quite versed in the ART of receipt digging and I don't mind as long as you understand there is additional cost involved. If you have a complex individual tax return and would like a free estimate, I can give a fair price estimation from reviewing your last year's tax return.  Just fax, scan and e-mail,  or mail me a copy of the return and if you decide to use someone else I'll be happy to mail back all of your information FREE OF CHARGE.
